Zoe and I met while we were interning at Walt Disney World. We both worked front desk at The Polynesian Resort. Before we had even met people would mix us up. I would be walking into the office and someone would say, “Hi Zoe!” and I would ask, “Who is Zoe?” And they would reply, “Oh..nevermind, you don’t have an English accent.” When we finally met, it was hilarious.. I didn’t quite know how to take it.. I didn’t think we looked alike, she didn’t think we looked a like, we definitely didn’t sound anything close to alike. Zoe is from England, I am from California.. the more we hung out, the more it was like the movie, Parent Trap!
It wasn’t long before we were inseperable, going dancing at night, getting into loads of trouble. Every single oppurtunity we had, you would find us at the beach. In a 3 month period, we were alwasy requesting the same days off so that we could travel to as many of the beaches in Florida as possible, never going to the same one twice. My favorite adventure was our 1 day, that turned into 2 day get-away to South Beach Miami. It was Amazing!
When my internship ended in May.. Zoe and I were forced to say good-bye.During our trips we had always talked about living in Australia together. Zoe highly recommeded that I try living in another country.. “there is no experience like it,” she said. So I picked Australia, and she said we wanted to come with me. When we said good-bye.. with tons of hugs and even more tears, we agreed that the next time we would meet, we would be in Austrailia. At the time I was disappointed, knowing that it would be over a year before I saw Zoe again, then another friend of mine e-mailed me this oppurtunity, and I jumped at the chance to be able to see Zoe again. With the help of this contest, Zoe and I will be able reunite sooner than we could have ever hoped for.
